Allow full access to let Google searches work.

When you turn on Full Access for any iPhone keyboard you will see a warning that this can include your credit card number, email, street address and anything you type. It is a scary warning to see, but it is an option that must be on for the keyboard to work.

Google notes in the app that, “This lets you use Google Search in your keyboard. Your searches are sent to Google, but nothing else you type is.”

We see similar statements and requirements from other iPhone keyboard apps. This is not generally a major concern for most users, especially since Google outlines the use.

How to use the Gboard iPhone Keyboard

You need to switch to the Gboard keyboard to use it. You can tap the globe over and over to switch keyboards, but it is easier to tap and hold on the globe. This pops up a small message that allows you to see the keyboards you have installed.

Tap on Gboard to switch to it, and start typing with the Google iPhone keyboard. This will stick as your main keyboard most of the time, but occasionally you will need to switch it back.

You can tap on a letter to type a message, or you can swipe to type a message in a text box. As you type, you can even type the name of an emoji and see it show up in auto suggest.

How to Curse With Gboard

By default the Google iPhone keyboard is set to prevent offensive language. This is so you don’t accidentally type something that you didn’t mean to.

However it can get in the way of conversations if you use curse words in your daily messages. You can turn this off so that you stop sending shot to your ducking friends.

Open the Gboard app, tap on Keyboard Settings, Turn off Block offensive words.

That’s all you need to do. You can edit other settings if you need to.

Change these Gboard settings.

Turn Gboard Location On

We recommend turning location on so that Google can know where you are and serve up relevant information

Open the Gboard app, tap on Search Settings and then on Turn on location access in Settings. This will prompt an option to pop up that allows you to share your iPhone location while performing searches.

You can also turn on an option to search contacts, but this was not as useful as local search for all users.

Gboard Android Release

Right now there is no known Gboard Android release date or even confirmation that there is a Gboard Android keyboard in the works.

Google already offers fast access to Google on Android devices. Maybe we will see something like this built-in to Android in the future.
